Yeah, good catch. This thing is an open http server for the entire file
system. Thankfully it doesn't support POST or PUT.
There's no reason we should allow the root-dir to be specified as a request
parameter. That's insane. I pity the fool running this as root.
Whatever the fix, I think it needs to be a high priority. I would also
consider back porting the fix to earlier releases.

> Project: Apache Storm (Incubating)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.9.2-incubating
> Reporter: Jared Kuolt
> Assignee: P. Taylor Goetz
> Labels: security
>
> Note: This is actually version 0.9.0.1 but I couldn't choose that in the
> dropdown. I suspect that the problem still exists.
> I found that it's possible to access any readable file on the system via the
> UI worker log viewer. To reproduce, navigate to:
> http://<host:port>/log?file=../../../../../../../../etc/passwd
